#THIS is actually plot relevant

What do you mean Sevika was going through an alcoholic depression after Silco died??!!?!?

Idk who wrote this or where they're from. I guess the show might tell us... hopefully.

Also, Sevika's new haircut was depression the whole time!!!! Why is a mini game filling out these storylines.

I feel like when Narinder gets drunk the chances of him biting Lamb rise astronomically. While usually they are love bites they aren’t soft bites, he wants to see those things last

MELISSA in Yellowjackets 3x01 "It Girl" & 3x02 "Dislocation"

[katnissmellarkkk]

suzanne collins : “so in the epilogue of mockingjay, katniss only refers to her children as the girl and the boy-”

people who read with one eye shut : “BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T LOVE HER KIDS AND WAS FORCED INTO HAVING THEM BY THE EVIL PEETA MELLARK?”

suzanne collins probably : “because i couldn’t decide on two names i liked.”

do you think miskoro likes love so much because it's one of the greatest sources of transformation

I return with some fun, low-effort Murder Drones doodles because that's the only thing I have the time and energy for right now (turns out moving to another state to escape day job hell and also the transphobia is A Very Involved Process).

Speaking of moving and other life changes, I have a Patreon and Ko-fi now, for those of you who like what I do and want me to be able to do more of it faster.

My apologies to anyone who's actually fluent in Russian, because I am very much not and I sincerely hope google translate didn't screw me over.

Close-ups under the cut (click for best viewing):

Everyone's favourite hair optional!

Just some silly misc. doodles for the Y/N of Chasing Stars :DD

I was going to wait until I was done my Sun and Moon doodle sheets as well, but I think we could all use a little silliness right now :)

I'll probably put some notes here later, but ough I'm tired. Hope y'all like this freak /aff

(And for my American friends, the biggest digital hug ever sent your way <3 )

The Medarda arc of s2 struggled to be good, because the plot viciously smothered it. You can argue that Arcane was never about politics but you cannot say the Medardas were never explicitly a family defined by politics. So when the show shifted it's priorities from a drama steeped in political conflict where even though the setting was fantastical the stakes were grounded to a shift where magic is the end all be all threat to humanity, the Medardas are rendered largely irrelevant.

In s2 Mel's agency over her own story is both largely stripped from her and poorly communicated. Arcane has Mel abducted from the plot to be the Black Rose's captive. Even when Mel manages to free herself it's not through the traits the audience understands are her strengths, her cunning and social intelligence, it's through an innate instinct that natural to her and indecipherable to the audience.

Ambessa as a character is more or less a villain of convenience, which would be fine if she wasn't immediately following Silco's act. Once Mel is removed from the story Ambessa is largely disconnected from any emotional tension fuels conflict between the characters and previously drove the plot in s1. She's there to play the worse bad guy for Caitlyn and then give Viktor the man power for the Glorious Evolution.

It's frustrating to see the Medardas used the way they are in s2 because when they're together I can see how it could be good. When they're together Mel forces emotion out of Ambessa. In Act 1, Ambessa proved she could do circles around Piltover's court, which could actually put Mel in a tight spot.

Their final scene on paper sounds like a good idea where the true resolution to Mel and Ambessa's story was that Ambessa saw Mel's own ruthless behavior as she not only betrayed Ambessa to the Black Rose, but used her as BAIT to double cross LeBlanc. Ambessa died proud that her daughter killed her the way she did, and that's so cool and tragic, but the execution was a flop.

One, their final fight is completely unimportant to the actual Glorious Evolution, Mel's grief can't even be a highlight because it's interrupted by Viktor's mind trap. Two, their fight didn't rely on any of Mel's actual strengths, just magic and the poorly explained MacGuffin LeBlanc gave her. How did Mel even know it would do that?

It's like the writers had the bones for a great story for the Medardas, but then they're like the world's worst archeologists and fit those bones together in the worst way possible because they were convinced the bones made a stegasaurus instead of a T-rex or something.

interesting how often jake uses brain ghost dirk to self-sabotage in one way or another - initially it's jake continuing to stubbornly and repeatedly make an ass of himself, but later in a much more serious context BGD thwarts aranea's plans for god tier jake. and not by protecting him, even if he is invoked as a protector and really actually trying to play that part - but by impeding aranea and causing jake's power-up to falter enough to be vulnerable to a crockertier forking. what the hell. why are they like that. poking them.

What if Mike doesn't actually exist and Spamton and Tenna are just insane

Girl help- why are some of y'all acting like Li Haolin kills off every woman he writes. Like, I'm not here to defend him on everything in regards to how he handles women cuz I do have my own minor gripes, but that thing in particular isn't true. Plenty of the Link Click women lived/got a happy ending and there's still women who are major characters who haven't died yet, so uh- for those not familiar with his other works, please don't fall for some of the doomerism going on about tbhx women who haven't even showed up yet.

I know they're not THE Sun and Moon from SB... But let me tell you, Sun x Moon being canon in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic was not on my bingo. I'm still not over that.
